Sri Lanka is among 36 countries which have been included in the list which will enjoy visa-free entry to enter Thailand and stay on for 60 days.
The Thailand Cabinet has approved new visa promotions to attract more tourists.
The promotions include visa-free and visa-on-arrival schemes and longer stays for students, and a reduced level of compulsory health insurance for retirees.
